Aaahhhh...you poor lefties! Those TRCs look like weird bottle openers or something! Shame you're not normal, you could enjoy the world of righties (LOL) .

That's made my day finding out that Peter Mc. is a lefty too! I bet that Graham is as sick as a pig after reading that list and now wishes that he was a lefty too! But then we can't all be "special", can we?

Only if you lift your left leg to do it!

We seem to have gone off subject a bit here....

Peter: While I am a lefty, I play right handed, and I don't play my guitar upside down either.

Back on track

My 381/12v69

And here's one of my ultra rare custom ordered left handed Rickenbacker air guitar in its case!

Like Peter Mc, I'm left handed and play righty too. To me, there's nothing weirder looking than a lefty Strat, Jazzmaster, or Jaguar...

But lefty Ricks look perfectly normal to me. Except for the TRCs with the tortured lettering (bass, 6-string) or shapes (12-string).

Peter Levett's 381/12's TRC above has completely lost the RIC TRC's graphic identity, with all the shaping the factory had to do to clear the string slots...
